Superluminal propagation

the Klein-Gordon propagator $G(\mathbf{r}, t; \mathbf{r}', 0)$ is nonzero outside the light cone (for $|\mathbf{r} - \mathbf{r}'| > ct$). This means the particle has a nonzero amplitude to travel faster than light, violating relativistic causality. In QFT, this is resolved by the cancellation betwee
